Infection in late preterm infants
Early Human Development, 2014Late preterm (LP) are at higher risk than term infants to develop infections due to their more immature immune system. Little data about the risks and incidence of infection and sepsis in LP are present in literature.To evaluate treated infection rates and risk factors for infection in moderate and late preterm infants (gestational age = 32-36 weeks ...

Palivizumab prophylaxis in ‘late preterm’ newborns
The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2010In the last decades the preterm birth rate rose more than 20%, largely because of an increase among deliveries of 'late preterm' infants, i.e. those born at 34 to 36 weeks gestational age. Late preterm infants are more susceptible to infection by pathogens, such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), possibly because of the immaturity of both the ...

Neonatal Outcomes of Low-Risk, Late-Preterm Twins Compared With Late-Preterm Singletons
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2017OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that the risk of neonatal morbidity among late-preterm twins is similar to that of late-preterm singletons. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all women with twin or singleton pregnancy who gave birth during the late-preterm ...

NeoReviews, 2009
Late preterm infants, defined as infants delivered from 34 through 36 completed weeks’ gestation, are less mature developmentally and physiologically than term infants (37 to 41 completed weeks’ gestation). Such immaturity places infants born late preterm at higher risk of morbidity and mortality than term infants during infancy and potentially ...

Late preterm infants are those born between 34 and 36 6/7 completed weeks' gestation. In the last decade, late preterm infants have become the fastest growing subset of preterm infants and now account for 74% of all preterm births. They are at greater risk for feeding problems, dehydration, hypothermia, jaundice, and hypoglycemia and are more likely to

Late Preterm Birth: Management Dilemmas
Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 2012In summary, late preterm birth results from spontaneous, indicated, and sometime elective indications. The burden of prematurity can be decreased if elective late preterm delivery is eliminated. While recent recommendations from the NICHD/SMFM workshop on timing of late preterm and early term birth have helped to guide management, the authors ...

Auditory brainstem response in very preterm, moderately preterm and late preterm infants
International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 2018Auditory brainstem response across preterm infants help in understanding difference if any in auditory maturation.To analyze and compare absolute and interpeak latencies of ABR in very preterm, moderate preterm and late preterm infants at term age.ABR traces were obtained from 148 ears of preterm infants (52 of very preterm, 44 of moderately preterm ...

Breastfeeding the Late Preterm Infant
Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic & Neonatal Nursing, 2008Late preterm infants comprise the fastest growing segment of babies born prematurely. They arrive with disadvantages relative to feeding skills, stamina, and risk for conditions such as hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, and slow weight gain. Breastfeeding these babies can be difficult and frustrating.

Platelet indices in late preterm newborns
The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2016The current study objective was to compare blood platelet indices in late preterm newborns (LPN) and full term newborns (FTN).We recruited 58 LPN and 71 FTN. Platelet indices were estimated in blood samples collected from the umbilical artery.LPN demonstrated a decreased count of blood platelets (249 × 10³/μL) as compared to FTN (295 × 10³/μL), p
